"A Rings journey.
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
Giles Busby, a Toledo fishmonger,
was cleaning whitefish recently and
in the larger intestines of the fish he
found diamond ring. The ring had
engraved upon it's inner surface o. A.
B., Chicago, Co. Busby fol- warded
the ring to the chief of police in that
cit. Mrs Julia A. Lennox, OF II
Lennox place, identified and recover
ed the ring. She tells an interestin.
story of its loss. III 1869 she, rs
Miss Bennett, became engaged to Mr..
Lennox, and he gave her this diamond
ring, for which he had paid $3.50.
Upon their bridal trip in 1871 Mrs.
Lennox lost this ring While she was
washing her hands III the toilet room
of the Pullman car tho ring slipped
from her finger and dropped through
the waste pipe. As the train happen
ed to be crossing the bridge over the
st. Lawrence river near Montreal
just 1T that time, the bereaved bride
had no hope of recovering the ring.
There are no whitetish in the St. Law
renee; the theory is that a small fish
seized upon the ring and that at some
future time this small fish, while cruis-
ing about the lakes. fell IL prey to the
whitefish in which the long:lost ring
was discovered. Giles Busby, the
Toledo tishmonger, received from Mr..
Lennox check for 500 for hi,
honesty.

made by Mr.. Manning: This amount ID
more than was ever received before from

that the question OF the reduction OF the
surplus will not be vital one Tor q long
time to come: hesurplus is very much re-
duced from the large figures OF one year
half OF that sum. There will be many
new demands upon the treasury because the
appropriations for the new fiscal year be-
come available, and among the immediate
demands are for the 3 per cents called and

Of S 8, 700, 900; $4,000, 900 for pension,

Constitution of Knl4hfa Of Lahor.

Knights Of Labor the new constitution,
embodying many important changes has
been adopted by about a three-quarters
vote. A clause providing for the forma-
ton OF national trades assemblies, sent
out separately from the constitution and
voted upon by local assemblies through
out the order, has also been adopted by
nearly the same vote. The national trades
assemblies, clause is probably the most i'm
portant OF the changes. 1t provides:
Any particular trade or calling may
form y national trade assembly, giving at
least, three months notice to each local as.
sembly the entire membership Of which is
composed OF such trade, II ten-day conven.
ton for tho purpose OF forming national
trade assembly. At least two.thirds of
the local assemblies must vote in favor OF
the trade assembly, and not less than ten
assemblies, If there be that number in the
order, may receive n charter.
Section 3 Of the article is not very strong,
however, as 1t still leaves the matter in
tho hands of the general executive board,
which, il the law has been complied with,
may instruct the general secretary to issue
charter.
